Sopa de Fideos

I’ve been to many Mexican restaurants and they seem to always give you a small cup of Sopa de Fideos (noodle soup) before the meal. This can easily be made at home with just a few ingredients. This is my version of this tasty Mexican noodle soup.

Step: 1

Place the tomatoes, onion, and garlic into a blender, and pulse several times to get the mixture moving; blend until smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Step: 2

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat, and stir in the pasta. Fry the pasta gently, stirring often, until the pasta is golden brown, 2 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step: 3

Pour the tomato mixture into a large saucepan, and stir in chicken broth and noodles. Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to medium low; simmer until the noodles are tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Season to taste with salt and black pepper, and stir in the cilantro; simmer 2 more minutes to cook cilantro.

The word “stew” can process to both a food and a cooking method. Stewing makes slowly cooking piece of meat, vegetables or beans in a tastefull liquid . It’s similar to braising, but it makes have a few notable differences. The meat is chopped into few of pieces but of being cooked all of it , and the liquid all of it covers the essential in a stew as different to a braise’s halfway all of it . When meat or vegetables are cooked using this method, the resulting dish is called stew.

Stew has a perception for being a rib-sticking meal that comfortable you up on a cold , winter day. It’s right that ; a bowl of classic beef stew can make warming properties , but stew’s comfort factor goes way beyond preserving you from the chill . It’s all about those tender chunks of meat and vegetables, swimming in a thick, ultra-rich gravy. The more they come together creates the greatest comfort food, no matter the weather.
